Accessories

Florist tools and accessories are the small, hard-working items that sit behind every arrangement, and this collection gathers sundries a florist reaches for daily. Metal pin holders lead the range, offered in 1.5", 2" and 2.75" diameters to suit anything from a bud bowl to a wide, low dish.
A pin holder, sometimes called a kenzan or flower frog, is a heavy base set with upright pins. Stems are pressed onto the pins so they stand at the angle the designer chooses, which makes it the classic support for ikebana, low bowl designs and arrangements in clear glass where foam would show.
Choosing the right size
Smaller holders suit bud vases, compotes and tight single-variety designs.Larger holders give a broader footprint for heavier stems and wider containers.Metal pin holders can be used job after job, which appeals to studios cutting back on single-use foam.
When buying for resale or for a busy workroom, match the holder diameter to the base of the vessels you use most and keep a spread of sizes to hand.
